Yeah, it looks awesome. The one that I can't find anywhere to save my life is the "lava" color looking effect...I really want that.

Oh wow yes that is cool. I have several of the monocolored things like that. Dammit the black fire set, that set and then what ever Von had, I need them all!

Edit, found it looking under Bandai not Tamashii. https://www.amazon.com/Soul-EFFECT-I...=bandai+effect

I can do without at that price.

Have you checked barnes and noble? Because i have seen type effects there

No wonder...yeah, it's too much. I never saw it on eBay and I hardly ever do Amazon, so, that's what I couldn't find it. @ BBTS it's been sold out for the longest time.

@rafael and Nash, it's actually a bootleg Tamashii effect from China. You can buy unofficial black, yellow, purple/pink and clear flames on Ebay for a reasonable price.

Thanks! Sigh ebay. One day I'm going to open that door to that dimension again, and probably fall in and leave my wallet and credit cards behind while attempting to escape.

I don't have one close to me though.

Yeah, I never liked the Elektra body they used for the SDCC exclusive, it seemed to thin. Plus since Ms. Marvel's costume has the same lines I won't have to freehand it

I just saw them...very nice! I even think the colors they offer are better than the original Tamashii ones, lol.

Thanks VonPooten! I'm glad you enjoyed the thoughts, as brief as they might be.

As for my favorite figure out of the wave...It's really hard to pick just one. My thoughts are biased towards Rogue as I am a huge fan of the character, but I might actually have to go with Kitty because of her versatility with the ability to swap parts and what not with other X-characters.

The dark horse though, is Cable. I REALLY like all of the new sculpting that was done for the figure, has good accessories, and the new costume is pretty neat. He also has a good size that I think translates well over all the other versions we have of him thus far. The only thing he's missing is a paint wash. Then again, what Marvel Legend isn't?

My least favorite would have to be Phoenix...and simply because of the fact that she really could have used some more love, since she lacks psychic and/or fire effects. The face isn't bad, as it presents a sort of mature beauty, but the hair sculpt is a bit too big and is shaped weird, giving it the appearance of a mullet, which hurts. She's still a good figure though.

Deadpool is also next to last for me, simply because mine had so many QC issues. One other issue I didn't mention is that he feels full of clutter, as while I appreciate the extra details and harnesses and what not, there's so many moving parts on him that slide off and around the torso that it makes playing with him difficult at times.

Good point. Ugh, I hate that they couldn't have waited and put Psylocke and Emma on the newer bodies. Seems like a long shot that they'll redo them anytime soon.

[Captain Nash]

Emma probably won't get redone for a while if ever, but I can definitely see Psylocke being redone in either 2017 or 2018.

[redfox]

...her name was Gwen Stacy...

Regarding Psylocke, I hope you're right. Regarding Emma, I hope you're wrong, wrong, wrong!

Excellent work and can't wait to see the whole set-up...

[Tim]

That is an amazing display!! Are you going to put the new head on him from Kitty pryde or keeping it like it is

Great idea using the Jubilee body with added miniskirt!

[Riddick]

What's the skirt from?

[Trivial Psychic]

Just showing off the Havok effects with another figure that should have had them in the first place, which would have instantly made him better than he was. If we ever get a Hydro-Man, I swear, he had better come with these...

[TheBlueMarvel]

@Trivial

Like the pose, as always!...but I think these affects work better with Havok than Blizzard. Gill emits lots of shards and ice projectiles. I have seen his powers manifested as snowy mist-like effects, and this works to a degree, but I think the Magneto presentation feels a lot more 'natural' (especially, if purple colored) than does Blizzard. Hydro man, if made on the six inch scale, would be a good fit. I like the pic nonetheless though! Cool shit!

[SymbiSpidey]

Does anybody remember that X-Men Mutant Academy game for Playstation? Such a throwback! It just came to mind as I was messing around with my X-Men Legends.


To tie it back into this thread, I remember Mystique and Toad the most out of any other characters from that game and it got me thinking....we could really use some updated figures for them. Really, most of the Brotherhood mutants seem to have mediocre figures that could use updates.

Has anyone received x-men shipping notices from dorkside?

Yes, I received my wave this past Thursday. Hasbro seems to be sending out a little bit at a time in stead of giving retails their full order.

I still have a copy. Most of the characters in the game need an update or rerelease
